4.0 out of 5 stars A fun rowdy movie!, September 5, 2010

Troy Hunter "T.H." (Louisville, Ky United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perriers Bounty (DVD)

This is a good film. If youi like the way too many times mentioned "Lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels", or "In Bruges", you'll like this. The witty repartee had me rolling on the floor. The dad was excellent. Cilian Murphy was also very good. I place this a tier below "Layer Cake", and I consider that high praise indeed. It's a lot better than recent films like The Bank Job. Get this and be prepare to laugh.And not only, but also, be prepared to be entertained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, fast, nutty Irish crime flick, February 23, 2011

4.5 stars

I was going to ask why there are only two reviews of this here but then I remembered how deep the brogue is in some scenes; a large chunk of America would probably find this mostly unintelligible. I'm pretty good with most Brit/Scot/Irish accents but still had to use the subtitles a few times. Better to just let it all run by though, because the pacing here is so perfect. This might in fact just be the best Dublin comedy of them all, beating out no small amount of fine competition (though Intermission is hard to top, and also penned by PB writer Mark O'Rowe...watch this guy as he grows, he's a real gem).

The script is tight and darkly hilarious, the direction crisp and properly slick, and all of the acting is solid, especially the principals, with Gleeson stealing the show as usual. Broadbent is also very funny at points, as is the whole cast. The violence is wisely and thankfully toned down from other recent UK mob flick rates (The Crew, etc), so the humor and weirdness can take the fore. Which they do, to much laughter. There are a boatload of good dramedies coming across the pond lately...please don't stop! You're blowing away the mediocre competition in Hollywood, and those of us who love to laugh are mighty pleased about it.

If you like Brit mob films, especially the cynically funny ones by Guy Ritchie and his pack of imitators (he's the UK QT (and better if you ask me)), then Perrier's Bounty should make you laugh out loud many times over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie !, December 10, 2010

This film was a pleasant surprise ! Made very much like in the fashion of "In Bruges", it is a gritty, dark story, but this movie is also pretty funny in its' own special way.

Brendan Gleeson is perfect for the role of the irish "Mobster" and (oh, blue-eyed) Cillian Murphy is a real pleasure to watch as Michael, the guy in deep, deep trouble. And while you think that things can not get any worse, they do because of the "help" of his neigbour Brenda (very well acted by Jodie Whittaker) and his "nutty" father Jim (funny Jim Broadbent)...

I really, really enjoyed this film !
